Economic Convergence in European Union
Sustainable development: trend or necessity?
(ECEU) – 21st edition
Bucharest, 22nd of May 2024
CALL FOR PAPERS
We are pleased to invite you to the 21st International Conference on Economic
Convergence in European Union,
“Sustainable development: trend or
necessity?” which will take place on 22nd of May 2024.
Organized by The Faculty of Theoretical and Applied Economics, the ECEU
conference is a multidisciplinary forum that promotes interaction and knowledge exchange
among scholars from diverse research fields.
This year the main topic of the conference revolves around potential economic, social, or technological
shifts caused by sustainable development, that is of paramount importance in today’s world, as it
addresses critical challenges facing humanity and the planet. Sustainable development is about meeting
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
With pressing issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and resource depletion, there’s
an urgent need for innovative solutions, therefore research plays a vital role in identifying, developing,
and implementing these solutions. Also, research in this field provides evidence-based insights that
inform policy formulation and decision-making processes at local, national, and global levels. By
generating robust data, analyses, and recommendations, research helps policymakers develop effective
strategies and regulations to promote sustainability across various sectors. In this context, the main goal
of the 21st International Conference on Economic Convergence in the European Union is to provide a
platform for research and discussions on topics that are centered on the potential paradigm shifts caused
by the transition towards sustainable development, that is not just a trend; it’s a necessity for addressing
the complex challenges of our time and building a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable future for
all. By investing in research, we can unlock innovative solutions, inform effective policies, empower
communities, and ensure the well-being of current and future generations.Participants will submit the abstract via email to simpozioneconomie@economie.ase.ro
